new jersey government chris christie vetoed a bill to set up a new jersey-run exchange echoing other governors' claims over uncertainty of the cost for the states. how is that california, the state that will run the largest insurance market in the country has not only decided to run its own exchange but has managed to figure out a way to do it without touching a single dollar of its state general fund. hmm. >> finally, let's take the tally. republicans lost their fight against the aca when president obama first signed it. they lost again when the supreme court upheld it. then they lost one last time when the american people handed the president a mandate on aca by re-electing him. when exactly are the republicans going to give up the fight that they've already lost three times? hmm. with me at the table, new york university constitutional law professor, kenji yoshino. donna edwards of marylandment senior fellow, bob herbert and jayening off, the former director of consumer insurance oversight at the u.s. department of health and human services. nice to have you all here. >> a long in

at the end of the day, chris christie is is aware of it. his number one priority has to be to people of new jersey that he is working on this. having an event with mitt romney would seem very political. i think he had the right response. maybe he was a bit more confrontational than i would be. the substance of this is the right one. the fact that we have politicians reaching across the aisle is something we should separate and start looking at their motives cynically. that's what also feeds distressed government. >> i would agree we should embrace this idea of a bipartisan moment. the fact is, it doesn't have to happen that way. living in louisiana with bobby jindal during the last hurricane, during isaac, when i lost a home, jindal refused to allow the president on the ground initially, embraced and accepted romney. it is not to say that there is a pure cynical motive on the part of him. >> bobby jindal looks much smaller today because of what governor christie did. >> we should note that earlier this morning, new york governor, andrew cuo

the imprudent but always entertaining tag-alang, chris christie, but the cast needs one more player to step out the story and he'll step to the mike to introduce the star on monday. you know, the role of the one diverse person in the crew, florida senator marco rubio. no matter what he talks about in the speech, the presence of rubio is an appeal to the increasingly powerful block of latino voters, those not happy with mr. romney at the moment. according to this week's nbc news wall street journal telemundo poll, romney controls 28% of the latino vote trailing president obama by 35 points. on wednesday a national co-chair for romney's extended leadership team told "the hill" newspaper that the campaign is to get 38% of the hispanic vote and is worth noting that the campaign is not even trying to reach the level of latino support that the last republican to win the white house had. yes, george w. bush in 2004 won re-election with more than 40% of the latino vote. that same nbc poll this week showed romney underperforming with white voters. and if that stays true, romney will need the la
